This page covers the two forms on this site, adding your name in support and sending a message, and the one piece of measurement that counts visits to the pages. Everything else here is a static page and a 3D model.
Adding your name
- What is collected. Your name, your email address, your postcode, the name of your council ward, your choice of named or anonymous, and your comment if you leave one.
- Your email address is never published. It is not shown on the wall of names, it is not passed to anyone, and it is not added to any mailing list unless you tick the box. It is there so a list of names can be shown to be a list of real people.
- Only the first part of your postcode is ever published. The wall of names shows a district, never a full postcode and never an address.
- The full postcode is kept, and here is the reason. MPs and councillors will sometimes only act on a signature if they can confirm the person is one of their constituents, and a district is not precise enough to do that. It is held privately for that purpose, it is not published, it is not passed to anyone else, and it is not used to work out anything about you beyond which ward you are in. If you would rather not give one, the first part on its own is accepted and your name still counts.
- Your ward is worked out here, from public data. The postcode is matched against the Office for National Statistics postcode lookup, held on this server under the Open Government Licence. Nothing is sent to any other company to do it.
- Why. To count how many people near this estate support putting it in the Local Plan, to show roughly where that support comes from, and to quote what people said if it helps make the case.
- Anonymous means anonymous. Choosing it keeps your name out of anything published or sent to the Council. The name is still stored, so that a signature can be verified as a real one if anybody asks.
- Who sees it. Jamie Bykov-Brett. Names, districts and comments may go to the Royal Borough of Greenwich as part of the case for an allocation, subject to the choice above. Nothing is sold, shared with advertisers, or passed to any other organisation.
Sending a message
The message box sends your name, your email and what you wrote to [email protected], and stores a copy. It is used to reply to you and for nothing else.
The mailing list
Only news about Avery Hill. It is a separate list from every other one, so ticking the box does not sign you up to anything to do with Bykov-Brett Enterprises or the AI Literacy Lab. Every email carries an unsubscribe link, and asking to come off by email works just as well.
How long it is kept
Until the Local Plan process this supports has concluded, or until you ask for it to go, whichever comes first. If the project stops, the list is deleted. Full postcodes go at the same time, and asking for yours to be shortened to the district while leaving your name on the list is a request that will be done.
Cookies and tracking
Visits to this site are counted. Google Tag Manager loads with every page, and what it loads sets cookies in your browser and records that a page was opened, which page it was, roughly which part of the country the visit came from and what kind of device it was on. It is here for one reason. Part of making the case for this estate to the Council is being able to say how many people are reading it.
It is not joined up to either form. Your name, your email address, your postcode and your comment are not sent to it, and nothing here tries to work out which individual person a visit belongs to. There is no advertising on this site, and nothing you give it is sold or passed to advertisers.
To turn it off, use the cookie button in the bottom-right corner of any page, under the accessibility button. It takes effect straight away, removes the counting cookies already set, and remembers your choice on this device. Every part of this site still works if you use it, and a browser or extension that blocks trackers does the same job.
Three other things reach outside, and it is fairer to name them than not. Google Fonts serves the two typefaces, and Google Translate is loaded by the accessibility toolbar so its translate option works; both load with the page, and Google sees the request. The third is yours to trigger: the Satellite button beside the model loads a Google map of the estate, and that one is built only when you press it, never on page load.
Your rights, and how to use them
You can ask what is held about you, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted, and none of it requires a reason. Email [email protected] and it will be done. If you are not satisfied with how that is handled you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
